The Recipients

Over 40 million Americans have served in the US Armed Forces since the Civil War. Fewer than 4,000 have received the Medal of Honor. Before they were national heroes, they were neighbors, newlyweds, parents, students, and friends. What made them go above and beyond the call of duty?
